I've been called to fight for Royalty to be at the King's commands be a martyr for my country spill my blood all on the land and if I should die in battle it's a noble thing to do I will return to you. For the glens have been my kingdom my only royalty and I've raised my sword against the Lord to protect my family but to join the English army and to fight for them abroad not for England or her empire could I ever raise my sword. I hear the drumbeat sounding it will lead me far away and although my soul is leaving my heart will surely stay and I'll fight for them tomorrow though it be against my word or my children they will perish on an English soldier's sword.
